Vision

 To change the way consumers view their health and access counseling services. 

Mission

To provide developmentally informed, evidence based counseling and behavioral support to children, adults, and families by providing practical interventions to improve day to day functioning.  Middletown Family Wellness & Counseling aims to remove the stigma of mental health services by integrating mental health delivery into the daily conscience of consumers, deemphasizing “labels” and focusing on the maintenance and restoration of optimal functioning.

Programs

Early Prevention and Screening Program

A recent study from the National Institute of Mental Health indicated that half of all children with mental illness go untreated.  The Early Prevention and Screening Program is designed to address this issue by assisting parents, school professionals, and other care givers in identifying and addressing any concerns with the social, emotional, and cognitive development of infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents.  The aim is to recognize both strengths and weaknesses in the child’s ecology, help identify the child’s learning style, enhance the child’s experience of success, empower parents to parent more effectively and teachers to teach more efficiently.  The emphasis is placed on early detection and rule outs, beginning with an annual mental health screen.  Services include individual and group counseling, behavioral assessment, psycho-educational evaluation, social skills assessment, parent education and counseling, and school consultation and support services. 

Adult Maintenance and Prevention Program

Why wait ‘til it’s broke???  Adults are encouraged to maintain their mental health just as they do their physical health.  An annual mental health examination by our qualified professionals can help identify potential stressors and minimize their long term impact.  Daily stressors such as financial worry, marital/relationship concerns, employment issues, and many other acute problems and grow into larger issues when not addressed.   Our philosophy is to keep you functioning at your highest level of ability in the real world- not just in our offices.  This means that our professionals help you develop or refine the tools you need to effectively manage and thrive in the world you live in.

Chronic Care and Long Term Management Services

This program offers a higher level of care for those requiring more in depth psychotherapy and/or psychopharmacology.  These services may require longer durations of treatment.   Our licensed and board certified health professionals work together to develop the least invasive, most effective treatment interventions based on existing research.
